Meal for "leftovers". We rotate Thanksgiving between 4 families so when I go to another house for dinner, I don't get very many leftovers. When that happens, I cook a mini dinner the next day for more "leftovers". That was today. The cornbread recipe is in on the Quaker box of cornmeal. The green bean casserole it the one everyone knows and the stuffing is Pepperidge Farm. The gravy was homemade with chicken stock and wings from the freezer, turkey neck, etc. The dish between the butter and gravy was supposed to be mashed potato cakes but they were never firm enough to form so I cooked them in a little oil and smooshed them in a bowl. I put them on the table with a warning to take a small taste to see if they wanted more. Everyone wanted more. It was the first bowl to be completely empty. There were also some deviled eggs pecan pie not in the picture. I made a pecan pie cobbler to take to the family gathering and bought a frozen pie just in case the cobbler didn't turn out. Well it was good so I kept the pie and we ate it today.
